Republicans blush at the amount of bans and cancellations of culture Russia is pushing out. The way Putin is dictating their citizens on how to live and what to say is the wet dream of the republican party.
- The self same Republicans you leftists accuse of being selfishly in dependant? You really need to get your insults and accusations straight there, mate.
  Like how the Biden administration destroyed 40% of black owned businesses a couple years ago, using blatantly anti-scientific arguments.
  The fascists in the US today are the democrats and the liberals who changed their shout from "fight the government" to "use the government to get our way", you know, the very definition of fascism.
  
  you're demented lol. seek help bud. wow.
  
  Your projection is showing.
  
  I'm sure DJT's YouTube channel can be trusted to offer unbiased, factual info. Right guys?
  I'm shocked that you don't actually know what fascism is. Shocked! Ok not that shocked.
  
  I don't think you've got any clue about the definition of fascism, and the distinction between Fascism and fascism
  
  Maybe go outside for a while instead of obsessing about things you clearly don’t understand.
  
  Fucking moron
  
  So, whose cock you sucking today? Putin? Trump? McConnell? All three?

‘Moscow bans being outside while not being Vladimir putin in rare relaxation of tough being-outside rules’

The most hilarious thing I read about was the Navalny city service line...
If you needed snow cleared or a pothole repair, spray paint "Навальный" on it, make sure someone notices and posts to social media and your issue will be resolved before you could say "СССР".

Barcodes that can accept text (Besides QR):
Aztec
Data Matrix
Code 128
PDF417
- Most Barcode scanners included in Android and iOS can't read them though. I know at least for Data Matrix, only a few scanners can handle them.
  
  I hate that the OG barcode scanner doesn't work on my pixel anymore.
  Another useful Google app killed.

"QR codes that serve as an online link contain various information and are prone to changes, which can violate the federal Law on Advertising," writes Ivan Shubin, head of the city administration's media department, adding: "especially considering increased hacker attacks and website breaches."
So, are they banning all urls in billboards?

Little big man

Carry a roll of QR codes and slap them on Putin's propaganda.

It will be stickers with QR codes next, followed by QR codes in general.
